The Royal Elephant-A Tanjore Painting

Here is a different Tanjore painting...Usually Divinity is the principal subject dealt with in traditional Tanjore paintings...But of late,other themes are also being tried and depicted in this medium...I have depicted a Royal Indian Elephant in this art form...The basic sketch is from a Rajastani miniature painting but see how well it fits into this style...Makes one wonder what this decorated ,bejeweled , majestic pachyderm is waiting for?Carry the King or the Queen on a Royal procession?Or carry the Deity on a holy procession?
